Resolved, That the procedure for requesting an alternate member to

replace a regular member during his absence at a meeting, must be as

follows:

1. 1. The Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall establish a record

1. of service of alternate members at meetings of the Legislative Commission,

1. and shall maintain a list of the alternate members for each individual

1. Senator or group of Senators. Each list must contain a numerical

1. designation in ascending order for each alternate member on the list. The

1. initial sequence in which the alternate members must be listed must

1. correspond to their designation as alternates in this resolution.

1. 2. If a regular member of the Legislative Commission is unable to

1. attend a scheduled meeting of the commission, and notifies the Secretary of

1. the Legislative Commission, the Secretary shall request the alternate

1. member with the lowest numerical designation on the appropriate list to

1. replace the regular member at the meeting. If the alternate member does not

1. agree to serve, the Secretary shall make the same request of the alternate

1. member with the next higher numerical designation on the list, and so on

1. through the list until an alternate member agrees to replace the regular

1. member.

1. 3. An alternate member who agrees to replace a regular member at a

1. meeting of the Legislative Commission loses the numerical designation he

1. had on the appropriate list at the time he was requested to serve. The

1. Secretary of the Legislative Commission shall, when the alternate member

1. agrees to replace the regular member, assign to that alternate member the

1. highest numerical designation on the appropriate list. At the same time, the
2. Secretary shall also reduce by one the numerical designation in the

1. appropriate list to those alternate members who have higher numerical

1. designations in the appropriate list than the alternate member who has

1. agreed to serve.

4. An alternate member who is requested to replace a regular member

at a meeting of the Legislative Commission, but who does not agree to

replace the regular member, does not lose the numerical designation he had

on the appropriate list at the time of the request.
